He advised them to “associate with anyone who claims to be a Christian yet indulges in sexual sin, or is greedy, or worships idols, or abusive, or a drunkard, or a swindler. Don’t even eat with such people.” (NLT, I Corinthians 5:11) Also, when it came to matters of the law, Paul advised them to settle disputes among themselves, and not take each other to court. Paul even pointed out that disputes should be avoided altogether. He reasoned, “Why not just accept the injustice and leave it at that? Why not let yourselves be cheated?” (NLT, I Corinthians 6:7)
